Show Info

By Laura Horton
Directed by Stephanie Kempson

With Madeleine MacMahon

What happens when the things we covet hide us from ourselves?

Opening up to new experiences in her late-thirties, Sophie is exploring long repressed sides of herself. When a secret she’s keeping from those she loves, and even from herself, threatens to unravel it all, she must make a choice. Who or what will she decide to give up?

Breathless is a funny, honest, and stylish exploration of the knife-edge of hoarding, from the joy to the addiction and suffocating shame. 

Originally supported by Pleasance as part of the Edinburgh National Partnerships
